Hi All First a fat Thanks to Johannes, Benh and to all of those heroes making it possible to run a relatively freh PPC (Apple) Powerbook model with Linux ... :)
I'm cross-posting. So a short note for those who can't know what all this is about: I didn't have sound with a fresh git kernel, on the machine mentioned above: $ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 cpu : 7447A, altivec supported clock : 833.333000MHz revision : 0.5 (pvr 8003 0105) bogomips : 16.57 timebase : 8320000 platform : PowerMac machine : PowerBook5,8 motherboard : PowerBook5,8 MacRISC3 Power Macintosh detected as : 287 (PowerBook G4 15") pmac flags : 00000019 L2 cache : 512K unified pmac-generation : NewWorld [Oops, something's messed up there: this actually is a 1.67 Ghz processor. I'll have a look at this later .. :) ] That's why I sent a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The thread is starting here: http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2006-May/022736.html On Wed, May 10, 2006 at 11:30:28PM +0200, Wolfgang Pfeiffer wrote: > On Wed, May 10, 2006 at 06:04:13PM +0200, Johannes Berg wrote: > > > Also, try snd-aoa. > > Impossible here, it does not compile here. Neither with gcc 4.0 or 4.1 Wrong. To put it mildly .. :) Result probably of me being too tired, too fast, and too anal when reading instructions ... # lsmod | grep -i aoa snd_aoa_codec_onyx 12032 2 snd_aoa_fabric_layout 7492 2 snd_aoa 8076 2 snd_aoa_codec_onyx,snd_aoa_fabric_layout soundbus 6628 2 snd_aoa_fabric_layout,i2sbus snd 60148 12 snd_aoa_codec_onyx,snd_aoa_fabric_layout, snd_aoa,snd_powermac,i2sbus,snd_pcm_oss, snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer I successfully compiled the software now, and only with gcc-4.1.

Results, as of now: I can change the sound volume via the software. Tested in xine and alsaplayer-gtk so far ... I have problems doing the same with pbbuttonsd. That is I can start, e.g., gtkppbuttons, but when pressing <FN>-<F5> or <FN>-<F4> it seems being impossible to change the sound volume this way. But I can toggle it completely ON/OFF with <FN>-<F3.> ... not being sure tho' whether this is due to some of my braindead mistakes or really a pbbuttonsd issue ... Thanks again a lot to everyone for your work, your time, and the resulting fine software ... :) Nice weekend Wolfgang -- Wolfgang Pfeiffer: /ICQ: 286585973/ + + + /AIM: crashinglinux/ http://profiles.yahoo.com/wolfgangpfeiffer Key ID: E3037113 http://keyserver.mine.nu/pks/lookup?search=0xE3037113&fingerprint=on -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
